[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Javier Carrasco <javier.carrasco.cruz@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 8f8abb863fa5a4cc18955c6a0e17af0ded3e4a76 upstream.

syzbot has found an uninit-value bug triggered by the dm9601 driver [1].

This error happens because the variable res is not updated if the call
to dm_read_shared_word returns an error. In this particular case -EPROTO
was returned and res stayed uninitialized.

This can be avoided by checking the return value of dm_read_shared_word
and propagating the error if the read operation failed.
